Going To Rupp For Tomorrow Nights Game. Need Help on Finding a Place For Good Food.

[shadowman4]

Heading to Rupp for game tomorrow night for first time since the new Civic Center has been redone. Where is a great place to get a good burger within walking distance of up or inside the Civic Center? Any help would be much appreciated.

Not a burger and you'll need to get there early but we love Pies and Pints right across from the fountains at triangle park. Plenty of seating, good beverage selection if you're into that and the wings/pizza are very good.

I think Sawyers has the best burgers. They are about 3 blocks from Rupp.

It's a bit of a walk and a tiny hole-in-the-wall, but if you can get in Sidebar, that's the best burger.

They are good, but only open for lunch on weekdays.

We really like the burgers (and all the food) at Nic and Norman's. A couple blocks from Rupp.

I thought they stay opened when Kentucky has a game. Thanks for letting me know.

Yeah, I second this, worth the quick walk.

I just double checked their site, didn't see anything about game day just Thurs-Sun they are open til 9, rest of week just lunch.

I'd second Pies and Pints. As a NYC pizza snob I liked it quite a bit. They have some unique and interesting pizzas.

Scratch that! Check Sawyers Facebook page for hours during downtown events. Looks like they do sometimes have extended hours for game day.

We like to go to Nic and Norman's. Good food, Good drinks and a short walk to Rupp.

I typed Max and Erma's the first time. I meant Nic and Norman's. Memory getting bad

The concession stand is high, but solid in a pinch. May even leave with a cup you can take home that’s says wildcats or something.

If you just want a good slice of pizza - try Goodfellahs

Pizza is awesome.
They brew their own beer but I HIGHLY RECOMMEND getting a pitcher of their house brewed Root Beer is awesome.

Pies and Pints is amazing.... they closed a lot of their locations near me which sucked. They chose really high rent places which I'm assuming why they closed nothing to do with their food.

If you are craving Pizza that is a must try.

I took my son to BBM and we ate there. Now he wants me to drive 3 hours to go back to Lexington just to get more pizza from there lol.
